Is there a DLL in Windows to implement Kerberos?

I need to implement Kerberos authentication as a replacement for LDAP, in fat client applications developed in various (legacy) languages. porting the application to .Net or Java (to use Jaas) is not an option.

I am looking for a DLL that would enable me to implement calls on my clients apps to AD as the Kerberos server.

Any idea ?

Solution

  • Kerberos on Windows is available through SSPI, the Windows equivalent of GSS-API.

    (You can also install MIT Kerberos or Heimdal; both are primarily Unix GSS-API implementations but have Windows ports available.)
